MIT scientists have found that wind enhances St. Elmo's Fire on the ground, but tames it in the air. The "corona discharge" skims harmlessly over airplanes, trees, and tall buildings. A controlled ...
The four main types of electronic leak detectors available to HVACR techs include: heated diode, corona discharge, infrared, and ultrasonic. The following is a snapshot of how the different ...
The concept of the corona-discharge ozone generator is pretty straightforward — a high-voltage AC potential is presented over a large surface area, such that any O 2 in the vicinity has the ...
The phenomenon of corona discharge involves the ionisation of air surrounding high-voltage conductors, leading to energy losses and the generation of audible noise. This process is highly ...
